'Announce three points' - Chelsea fans love what Frank Lampard has done against Liverpool

Chelsea have been handed a huge injury boost ahead of Liverpool with N'Golo Kante, Mason Mount and Emerson Palmieri all fit enough to start.

Kante has not played since Leicester City at home back in August, but now the World Cup winner is fit to be back in action for the big match of the day.

Meanwhile, Mount had to hobble off against Valencia on Tuesday night after a dreadful tackle, but the England international has been passed fit for the game.

Emerson has also not featured since the international break, but has returned to the left-back role, with Marcos Alonso dropping down to the bench.

It means that Frank Lampard is close to having his full set of injured players back, with Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Antonio Rudiger still to return.

There is no Christian Pulisic in the starting XI, however, with Willian once again in the first team to begin the match at Stamford Bridge.
